I want to put this stripe on my night, but in matte black. The problem his what should I do for the grille since it's gloss black (the only gloss black on the truck) should I continue the matte black over the gloss, not put it on the grill at all, or have them put a white vinyl on the grill? I can't picture what would look best.

Personally I would either run the matte black down the grill, would look cool. Or just do gloss black stripes

Do you really think it would look cool? I'm afraid it would look like I just through a stripe on carelessly. I do like black cars or trucks with matte black stripes but I feel like the same wouldn't apply here

It's just vinyl at the end of the day, if you don't like it on the grill peel it off. I don't think k it would look odd if you didn't run the stripe through the grill at all

If your grill and wheels are gloss black I would do the stripe the same.

The grill is the only gloss black. Wheels and badges are all matte black

Anyone know how much this would cost(roughly)? There's a guy out here that everyone goes too but he's a pain in the ass to get a hold of

I was thinking about doing this on my truck as well. Red stripe on a black truck. Have you gotten a quote for the install? What's the balpark?

I have to try calling sometime today if I find time. There's a shop that does custom graphics by me so we will see if it's outrageous or not

:) Sometimes a single stripe, no matter how you choose color---will leave an UNFINISHED" impression--

I've had black trucks and if I installed a body stripe--it would be a dual SILVER set--centered--otherwise

A single--makes a "statement" that only YOU understand--

Suptoyou

Whatever

How about just stripe on the hood? The black rims look great btw. Factory paint? I've got a '14 Black Sport, want to paint my rims black.
